What is the volume, in cm^3, of an object that has a mass of 455.6 g and a density of 19.3 g/cm^3?

• A. 8.56 cm^3
• B. 23.6 cm^3
• C. 19.3 cm^3
• D. 455.6 cm^3

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the formula that relates mass, volume, and density: \(\text{Density} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}\).
2. Rearrange the formula to solve for volume: \(\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Density}}\).
3. Identify the given values: mass = 455.6 g and density = 19.3 g/cm\(^{3}\).
4. Substitute the given values into the rearranged formula: \(\text{Volume} = \frac{455.6\ \text{g}}{19.3\ \text{g/cm}^{3}}\).
5. Perform the division to find the volume in cm\(^{3}\) (do not calculate the final number here, just set up the expression).
